Nevahhhh 😆😆😆🆑🆑🆑 4/20
That was hard to watch…
Happy 4/20 Loretta!
It was a bright after Rio Olympic cycle. American women set four World records in swimming. Now we call all of them with slight correction on Reagan Smith veterans.
The new talented generations is coming now to the scene. Will be they same bright? Todays discussion of most anticipated events at trials on women side tells us that we are going to see the fiercest competition between each other but not between them and world standards.
Could see USA missing a medal in the 4×100. A weak AUS will still win, Canada 2nd and then honestly GB or Sweden could win Bronze.
With Hopes heat flat start split and any Hopkin takeover GB would have got silver and their team is looking just as strong as in 2021. Yet i don’t see any ‘guaranteed’ 52 splits in the USA, other than maybe Weitzel.
Netherlands probably also out of the mix but USA just seem to only have swimmers who are better at other events (Curzan + Huske) or unreliable 100 swimmers with no individual medal potential.
Ausrailia will basically be a no-show at WC; most of them are going to focus on Commonwealth games.
Let’s exaggerate for effect hey? A few swimmers ( maybe 6) are skipping Worlds.
O’Callaghan, Wilson, Jack and Throssell are all going to worlds. The four of them swimming close to their best still would have won gold in Tokyo despite none of them being on the actual winning team.
The fourth will be Harris.
I know it will. I was making the point that even Australia’s B team, which includes no one in the final, could still have reasonably won the Olympics.
Wait for the trials at least before declaring them a failure.
Gonna go with – no.
It tends to always look like this, especially when other countries have their trials meets significantly earlier than the US. “Oh no, look at how fast they all went!! The US ain’t been that fast this year!”
Once the relay is underway the United States is always right there, no matter what it looks like while crunching the numbers
That’s what the coaches said in the MMR…
Can’t wait to see how wrong y’all are about 100 Free.
I think you guys are in for lots of surprises when psych sheets drop. Including swimmers who aren’t swimming at all – swammers.
I don’t think it’s a big problem for Douglass to swim 4 events at trials, since there are no semis there. But if she’s in 4 events in Budapest, that will be another story. Especially if she qualifies for 100 free and 100 fly, there will be a lot of relay duties too.
